We hope that the British Government will not allow itself to be bluffed out of its just [demands. Doubtless the small Powers will fume and fret and talk of British greed, etc., etc, but they must remember that they owe to Great Britain the small amount of trade which they now do with the Far East, that she has never stood in their way, but has worked exclusively for the open door and free competition, and has even refused her A.

It is perhaps too soon to begin to congratulate ourselves, but it really looks as if the con- tinued agitation of the China merchants for a little Government recognition was beginning to bear fruit. It has taken over half a century to accomplish this end, and now it is to be eamestly hoped that the matter will be pressed home and our Gov- erument shown that Trade Interests are quite as important, if not more so than Diplomatic Interests.

REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. ENGLAND AND CHINA.
LONDON, August 12th,
The delay in the signing of the Protocol is due to England pbjecting to Powers with microscopic commercial interests enjoying an equal voice, with herself on the proposed in- ternational tariff revision commission.
ACCORDING to Sir Nicholas D'Conor, Count
Lamsdorff says that the Thibetan mission to Russia has neither political nor diplomatic significance. This is certainly a very comfort: ing statement, but to us it bears too much of a diplomatic and political savour to be accepted without a grain of salt. The other day we were told that the same mission had not even a religious significance, and so what in the name of Fortune are these Thibetans doing? Perhaps they are nothing more than a party of Cook's tourists, or a bean feast, or a temper ance demonstration. Can it be that they were merely travelling through Russia for pleasure and were all armed with alpenstocks and cameras? Perhaps Count Lamsdorff will next. tell us what they really came for. at the West Bromwich Guardians meeting A MITTER attack was made on the N.S.P.C.C.
lately by the Mayor, Mr. 1. H. Cheshire, says a home paper. He declared that 17 children are now in the workhouse who have been admitted since April through the action of the society, Having seen the children, be consider- ed the statements made as to their condition simply atrocious. One woman who had been three times prosecuted by the society was now dead. (Laughter.) The action of the society was coating ratepayers £500 or £700 a year, Other guardians protested against the work. of the society being interfered with, but Mr. Cheshire succeeded in carrying a resolution authorising all children admitted to the work bouse through the action of the society to be brought before the relief committee. A HOME paper of the 9th ult, says:÷Mr. Justice Grantham is a proud man this morn- ing; the House of Lords has upheld his judgment. It is the case in which a firm of merchants orignally brought an action against the commander of H.M.S, Lapwing on account
His Excellency, having made a brief refer ence to Mr. Chamberlain's invitation to the.
